The Benefits Of Marijuana In Peru

Earlier this year Peru joined forces with other Southern and Central American countries, which stated marijuana can now be legally used for medical and scientific reasons. The process for this bill started In February when during a police raid, a group of parents were found to be making a marijuana based oil. These parents believed the oil could have the potential to help their children who were suffering from cancer, and in some cases, epilepsy. Marijuana can be used to help cope with muscle spasms, severe pain, PTSD, cancer and epilepsy. It helps to relax the body and provide a calming feeling.
At first the law was a tough topic of conversation since Peru was already struggling with drug gangs associated in cocaine production, making it
the second largest cocaine production in the world. Government officials pushed for the country to look at this as a way to help others deal with difficult circumstances and illnesses, not in a way that causes destruction and harm. Alberto de Belaunde, who is a pro-government Politian stated “Science is on our side, the regional current is on our side. Let’s not let our fears paralyze us”. After much deliberation the majority of Peru stood behind president Pedro Pablo Kaczynski, with sixty-eight votes for “yes” and only five votes for “no”. Within the next few months it will be officially written into law.
